Sketching Fish

After our trip to Animates where we sketched the animals there, we decided to focus on sketching fish. We talked about their shape and body parts. We talked about the lines to draw – straight, curved, zig-zags and waves too. Then we looked at our first sketches from the pet shop and lots of other pictures and drawings of fish.

Everyone looked very carefully at the way they were drawing, we talked to each other about what we were doing and how we liked everyone’s fantastic fish. We are going to next make a chalk and crayon sketch of a big fish to dye and then make into a mural to display in our classroom. It should look great!
